Henschke The Wheelwright Shiraz 2018

A very fine Barossa Shiraz offering an array of flavours – cranberries, soy, tobacco leaves, florals, licorice, truffles, beef stock, dark berries, a hint of chocolate and more before a whiff of black pepper emerges. Good grip at the moment, this is fresh but very youthful. Will be even better after a few years in the cellar and one should wait, if one has the patience. Some sweet-and-sour plum on the finish. After a few years in the cellar, this wine should drink beautifully for ten to twenty-five years.
